Buy-To-Let Mortgages

Whilst purchasing buy-to-let properties can be both rewarding and profitable, it does come with a potential minefield of problems if you’re not properly advised. That’s where Crawford Mulholland come in.

A buy-to-let mortgage is a mortgage for a property you are going to be renting rather than living it in yourself.

If you rent out your property, you’re a landlord. As a landlord, you can start charging rent to cover your mortgage repayments and the costs of maintaining your property. Of course, there may be profits to be made, too.

Buy-to-let mortgages tend to be more expensive than residential loans. Some lenders don’t even offer mortgages for buy-to-let properties. The majority of the most cost effective loans are “broker only” which means you can only get them through a broker.

Different to homeowner’s insurance

They’re a lot like standard mortgages, with a few key differences – you need a bigger deposit and if you don’t already have a tenant, you’ll need to prove your property is rentable before you secure a loan

Most buy-to-let mortgages have the option of going interest only, which means that you don’t pay anything off the capital each month, but, at the end of the mortgage term, you repay the original loan in full.

Whilst purchasing buy-to-let properties can be both rewarding and profitable, it does come with a potential minefield of problems if you’re not properly advised.
